boost bottle

Okay bit of a nooby question but can anyone actully tell me what an boost bottle does, i dnt see how it can boost speed or save fuel, does it just push more air threw or fuel?

cheers

 

It's a reservoir that holds fuel/air mixture, it only work's for a split second when you crack the throttle open, a small boost in mixture. Early 2 stroke bikes used them, it affectively helps iron out a poorly set up carb. Personally i think they work, others say not. There not expensive, try one, if don't work for you sell it!

 

Basically if you own one.... place it in a bin

and if your planning on buying one, buy some beers instead

 

i've told you before.. they add atleast 20mph to speedys

 

LOL ^

 

Apparently they seem to work on bikes which have disc valves and any improvement on am engine with read valves is negligible.

 

i got a boost bottle and tbh its the worst thing i done. it uses more fuel and slows my acceleration and top speed down so i quickly removed it

 

You must have fitted it wrong, they don't slow your scoot down or use more fuel.

 

maybe so but i installed it as the instructions said so i dont know it will go back on with a bit more tuning
